We Remember

HARRISON, Sharon

December 1, 1946 — January 27, 2022

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Sharon Harrison, wife, mother, sister, and friend. Sharon passed away at home on January 27, 2022. She was 75.

Sharon is survived by her husband of 56 years, Bill; and their daughters Kathy (Corey) and Debbie (Brian); grandchildren Carson, Kira, and Kaiden; her brother Brian; sisters Lorraine (Michael) and Jennifer (Glenn); and brother-in-law Bob (Valerie).  Her mother Hazel Hewlett and her father Robin Drought predeceased Sharon.

Sharon was raised in Westbank, BC. The Drought family lived above “Robin’s Market”, the only full-service grocery store in Westbank at the time. She helped her dad with a small summer concession by the lake and often closed the shop to go swimming on a hot summer’s day in Gellatly Bay.

After graduating from grade 13 in Kelowna, BC, Sharon moved to Calgary, AB with her girlfriends from Westbank. Here she met Bill, and they were married in Westbank in 1966. Sharon followed Bill’s career in the bank, where they made many friends along the way. Summers were spent at their cabin at Gull Lake.

They then decided to move back “home” with their two young daughters and purchased a vineyard in southeast Kelowna. Sharon soon decided she was not a “farmer” and went to work at the Mission Overwaitea, where again, Sharon made long-lasting friendships.

After the vineyard, they moved to Westbank and Sharon soon joined the “Book Club”. The “girls” enjoyed their wine and dine with Sharon and were always planning a yearly out-of-town adventure. There were always lots of laughs and good times.

Sharon was known for her quiet, confident manner and her willingness always to help others. She was able to create many long-lasting friendships.

In her memory, please consider donating to the ALS Society of BC.

A Service will be held to honour Sharon on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2022, at 10:00 AM (PST), at Springfield Funeral Home Chapel, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. If you are unable to attend in person, please join the family online by Livestream (see below), a recording will be made available to view shortly thereafter.

    Our thoughts & prayers are with the Harrison family as they remember the happiness and joy that Sharon brought into the lives of those who knew her. Sharon was indeed blessed to have raised 2 beautiful and thoughtful daughters, namely Debbie and Kathy who cared for her on a full-time basis in her later months of illness. May each of you be blessed with renewed strength at this time of sadness. Warm hugs, Bonnie and Dave

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
